A Chat with Jesus on the Cross

                    

Think of this Picture as you read the following Narrative

                             Why, my Lord did you want to die,

               Tell me now I want to know why.

               You came to us and preached of life,

   But all the priests would give you strife.

   Doing this for the likes of me,

   You say you’ll give us life that’s free.

               Look at yourself just hanging there

         Does it look like the people care?

   They cast their lot in with the crowd

   Where they shouted very loud

   That old Barabbas should be freed

   Oh it was a dirty deed

   And now you’re up there, what a mess,

   People passing, couldn't care less

   They just want to have a good time

   Drinking vast amounts of wine

   Their thoughts are anywhere but here

   Are they worried,…. No fear

               The guards now come to ensure you die

               But it’s not needed, ........ no lie

               For you call out to heaven above

               To a Father full of love

               To take your life for all it’s worth

               Take it from this sinful earth.

.               But all the time around are found

                Family members on the ground

                Crying for the son they love

                Calling out to Heaven above

                For their loved one to be spared

                It’s a time when pain they shared

.              But now you’re dead and in a grave

               How on earth will you now save?

               The creation that you love so dear

               This is what your family feared

               But wait there’s more on Easter Day

               Don’t you dare go far away……
